Numbers 14:16
Not able - His power was quite spent in bringing them out of Egypt, and could not finish the work he had begun and had sworn to do.
14 and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have aheard that You, Lord, are among these people; that You, Lord, are seen face to face and Your cloud stands above them, and You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.
15 Now if You kill these people as one man, then the nations which have heard of Your fame will speak, saying,
16 ‘Because the Lord was not aable to bring this people to the land which He swore to give them, therefore He killed them in the wilderness.’
17 And now, I pray, let the power of my Lord be great, just as You have spoken, saying,
18 a‘The Lord is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, bvisiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.’
